Gentle Tooth Extraction in Beverly Hills
Expert Care for Your Oral Health
A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Specifically, we perform this procedure to address severe decay, overcrowding, or advanced gum disease that cannot be fixed with other treatments. Furthermore, removing a problematic tooth is often the first step toward restoring your overall health and comfort.
What are Extractions?
Tooth extractions are common dental procedures that differ significantly from restorative treatments like fillings or crowns. Traditionally, a filling or crown is used to save a damaged tooth by rebuilding its structure and strength. Conversely, an extraction is necessary when the tooth is too damaged or infected to remain safely in your mouth.
While a crown covers a weak tooth, an extraction removes it entirely to protect your surrounding teeth and bone. Specifically, leaving a failing tooth in place can lead to painful infections or the spread of harmful bacteria. Therefore, removing the tooth is sometimes the most responsible choice for maintaining a healthy and functional smile.
Choosing an extraction helps stop pain and prevents more serious complications like abscesses from developing further. Consequently, this procedure is often a vital part of a comprehensive dental plan for patients in Los Angeles. We use advanced techniques to ensure the process is quick while preserving as much of the surrounding bone as possible.
The Treatment Process
The process begins with a detailed digital X-ray to evaluate the shape and position of the tooth and bone. After we review the imaging, I apply a strong local anesthetic to completely numb the area around the tooth. Subsequently, I use specialized instruments to gently loosen the tooth from its supporting ligaments for a smooth removal.
During the procedure at Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, you will feel some pressure but no sharp pain. I work carefully to ensure the extraction is as minimally invasive as possible to help your body heal faster. Specifically, I monitor your comfort throughout the entire visit to make sure you feel relaxed and safe in our care.
Once the tooth is removed, I clean the socket and may place a small amount of bone grafting material. After the site is prepared, I apply sterile gauze to help a blood clot form, which is essential for healing. Therefore, you will leave our office with clear instructions on how to care for the area as your jaw recovers.
Cost and Financing
Investing in a necessary tooth extraction is a crucial step to prevent much more expensive emergency surgeries later. While we focus on saving teeth whenever possible, removing a source of infection protects your entire body’s long-term health. To help with the cost, we offer several flexible financing plans and work with most major PPO insurance providers.
